Although the epidemic may have reduced our need for cosmetics, as we adjust to the new normal, we are once again in need of foundation and eyeliner. After all, if we want to get back to routine, we must present our best selves on Zoom calls. And for others, wearing lipstick even while wearing a face mask feels appropriate. Choosing among a million goods online without any trials or help may be challenging, according to ThinkML to put it mildly, when it comes to beauty and cosmetic products. As a result, technology has intervened to help, as it always does.

Artificial intelligence is used in skincare in several ways: 

  • Augmented Reality

Utilized Snapchat filters before? That is only an application of augmented reality. The technology that makes it possible to apply virtual effects to real-time images is known as augmented reality. With this technology, a skincare or cosmetic product may be tested on the user’s face to see how he would seem after using it in real life.

  • Natural Language Processing

To help robots comprehend human language, natural language processing, or NLP, integrates linguistics, machine learning, and algorithms. It is frequently used for voice-related searches in the skin care sector.

  • AI-Based Search

Customers utilize AI-powered search to find the most appropriate product for their requirements.

  • Personalized Content

Brands and websites utilize content personalization in the skincare sector to suggest items to users. Algorithms for content customization first utilize user behavior, then evaluate it to recommend to buyers the goods that match their interests.

  • Forecast Of Supply and Demand

Industries and brands use this function to research the supply and demand for a certain product. This aids in the regulation of supply networks by the industry.

Benefits of AI in Skincare

Let’s examine the operation of clever technologies in further depth.

  • Using Augmented Reality for Online Fittings

A technological stack called augmented reality makes it possible to overlay virtual visuals on real-world photographs. Both Instagram and Snapchat use augmented reality technology for their filters. But how does AR function?

A clever algorithm examines 100 focus points to identify facial boundaries and the buyer’s face. An AI program examines data points related to facial features to map out the makeup of a person’s face. Artificial objects fit because AR scales digital objects to match a person’s face and overlays them on a picture or video.

Augmented reality improves the online buying experience for skincare and cosmetics by enabling users to visually try on lipstick and eye shadow and observe how anti-aging treatments work by identifying wrinkles, blemishes, uneven skin tone, and dark skin circles.

  • Access To Personalized Skincare Shopping is Made Possible by AI Skin Technology

AI has always powered the finest augmented reality (AR) experiences. This technology enables users to virtually try on different lipstick hues, foundation tones, brow shapes, eye shadows, and other goods to see how they will truly appear on them.

With businesses setting the pace, AI has grown so strong that it enables businesses to provide new experiences to their customers, including the capacity to put on cosmetics or do online skin analyses virtually. What has been dubbed the ultra-personalization of beauty is becoming a reality thanks to AI.

  • Educate Clients on Their Skin Type

Customers should be aware of their skin type to select the optimal product regimen because everyone’s skin is unique. To help customers understand their skin type and optimum product regimen, AI technology can diagnose skin issues in a couple of seconds. Dermatologists and other researchers have long employed AI in skincare to assist physicians in identifying skin diseases and symptoms utilizing tomography and medical skin scan imaging. Although AI in dermatology is not a recent development, it mostly serves to support healthcare practitioners.

  • Dynamic Content Personalization Enabled By AI

One of the most intriguing uses of artificial intelligence in cosmetics is personalized. According to a survey by the Tapestry research organization, consumers spend 80% of their time in the pre-search stage, while just 20% of website users add items to their carts and complete the transaction. Therefore, customers are more likely to make purchases if you reduce their path by making relevant things available to them immediately. The beauty sector may employ AI in a variety of ways to provide dynamic, tailored content:

  • Data collection and digitization for products, content, and customers
  • tagging and structuring data such that it is easily accessible
  • cost reduction through data-driven decision-making

  • Product Suggestion Using Natural Language Processing for Comprehensive Makeover

A subfield of artificial intelligence is natural language processing (NLP). To help computers comprehend human language, linguistics, data science, and AI algorithms are combined through NLP. Data input and output are where NLP-powered apps and straightforward chatbots diverge.

While basic chatbots respond to closed queries with “Yes” and “No” or straightforward instructions, NLP programs allow for more natural conversation and provide pertinent, non-predefined replies. Beauty firms use Natural Language Processing technology to create intelligent digital assistants that make more individualized product recommendations. Beauty firms focus on such applications for screen-equipped devices since voice-driven beauty services perform best when paired with images. The Coty NLP customer assistance “Let’s Get Ready” is a good illustration.

  • Devices And Apps for Beauty

Because they create useful data, beauty apps are very valuable to cosmetic corporations. They help businesses understand their clients and what they want more clearly. Smart beauty equipment is also making its way into homes. Technology and aesthetics are becoming more integrated. Both major and small beauty firms have released numerous high-tech beauty tools and their applications throughout the years.

  • Dermatology Apps

Both patients and dermatologists may benefit from using AI in the field of dermatology. Technology cannot replace dermatologists, although it can help decision-making. However, artificial intelligence is the future of skincare.

The Evolution of AI Skin Scanners

The skincare sector will benefit from continued advancements in AI and skin technology. Although visualizing various skin issues is not a simple endeavor, we have so far witnessed fantastic outcomes due to improved training and the application of powerful AI algorithms. As we advance in this field, we anticipate seeing additional categories of skin disorders tested by cutting-edge skin tech and receiving more precise findings. The static photo-based skin assessment experience will be replaced with a legit video-based one to improve the user experience.
